"Oh! Right, I acquired a piece of land. That land is in the old district, which was planned for relocation and redevelopment. Many people were bidding for it, and I managed to pull some strings and almost invested my entire fortune into it."

"To me, this is a gamble. I'm hoping to make a big profit once the housing is built! But, just when the relocation started, there was a problem."

"There's a well over there, with lots of iron chains inside. Initially, I thought of making it a unique feature of the community."

"However, those iron chains were really ruining the aesthetics, so I decided to have them pulled out and replaced with something prettier. Turns out, it would've been better not to pull them because as soon as we did, there was trouble."

At this point, Wang Quan seemed to see something frightening, shivered instinctively, and broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

"Continue, why did you stop halfway?"

Zhou Hanyu, who was enjoying the story, said discontentedly.

This mischievous Miss Zhou Er herself was always curious about all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

"As soon as those chains were pulled up, the well started making strange noises, and a strong fishy smell emerged, with yellow water bubbling up non-stop."

"Seeing this, the workers were too scared to move. Forget about pulling up the chains; even other construction work was completely halted."

"The construction site stopping work? This is killing me, isn't it? I had no choice but to think about finding someone to fill it up."

"But, whenever soil was poured inside, no matter how much, it disappeared without a trace. There's really no way out; I could only halt the work and consider other options."

"After coming back home, I kept dreaming every night of a black dragon wanting to eat me. It told me if I dared to mess with the well, it would devour me."

"This dream went on for several days, so I went to see Master Fan Si. He also checked out the well and pointed me in your direction for help."

Upon hearing Wang Quan's words, Yang Yan frowned.

He then took another deep look at Wang Quan.

Odd, there doesn't seem to be anything ghostly clinging to him!

So, pondering for a moment, Yang Yan finally said:

"I understand. I'll help you with this. However, I have something to attend to tomorrow, so I can only get to your site the day after. Let's discuss details after I check it out then!"

Hearing Yang Yan agree, Wang Quan was overjoyed.

He stood up and deeply bowed to Yang Yan, gratefully saying:

"Mr. Yang, as long as you can help me resolve this, I'll pay whatever amount. Now, I don't want to develop that place anymore; I just want a good night's sleep in peace. Whoever wants to bother with it, let them go!"

Yang Yan chuckled lightly, turned his hand, and handed something to Wang Quan:

"Here! Take this, and as long as you wear it at night, you'll have a good sleep. As for your construction site's trouble, I'll help with that too. However, it'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow."

Wang Quan looked at the item in his hand, surprised to find it was a milky white jade pendant.

Although it wasn't as exquisite as the one he had before, it gave him a sense of comfort when held in his hand.

He tightly clasped it in his palm and bowed to Yang Yan once more:

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, shall I send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Yan gently nodded:

"Hmm! That's fine, but it's best to come around one o'clock in the afternoon; going too early or too late will make it hard to see clearly."

Wang Quan naturally had no objections and promptly said:

"Alright, Mr. Yang, we'll meet again at one o'clock the day after tomorrow. I won't trouble you anymore; I'll take my leave."

After he finished speaking, Wang Quan stood up and walked out.

"Is his matter troublesome?"

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan with some concern and asked.

Zhou Hanyu couldn't help but ask:

"Is what he's saying true? I just feel his story is unreliable!"

"If he's really seeing ghosts, how could it be like this? He seems fine; maybe he's just scaring himself!"

Yang Yan chuckled softly:

"That situation isn't caused by ghosts. If I'm not mistaken, the bald guy is probably being conned."

"Regardless of who's conning him, that's not our business. We'll deal with his matter after tomorrow's banquet, just to repay a favor."

Hearing Yang Yan say this, Zhou Hanyu couldn't help but frown, teasingly asking:

"What's the deal? You seem to know what's happening over there?"

Yang Yan had no intention of hiding it and nodded, saying:

"Yes, I know a bit about it. Actually, this matter is quite famous, and you should have heard of it too. But I'm not sure whether that guy knows."

"Or perhaps he does know but assumes it's just a common rumor and didn't take it seriously. Now that there's trouble, he's desperate."

Zhou Hanyu raised her eyebrow:

"So, that guy actually has secrets!"

Yang Yan smiled indifferently:

"That's just human nature; nothing much to fuss about!"

"Is he talking about the Dragon-locking Well at Beixinqiao?"

Zhou Hanyun said hesitantly.

"Ah! I just said it sounded so familiar; it really is the legendary Dragon-locking Well? But does the well actually exist? Is there truly a black dragon trapped down there..."

Zhou Hanyu looked at Yang Yan in shock, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Hmm! You've seen the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, so of course, the legendary Black Dragon is real. Moreover, it's currently the only dragon with a precisely known location."

"Poor Wang Quan, to have obtained development rights for that land! Digging on the dragon's head? Haha, really seems like he has a death wish!"

Yang Yan chuckled and said.

"What's the story behind that Dragon-locking Well? Who trapped the black dragon there?"

Zhou Hanyun asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, hurry up and tell us! I thought it was all exaggeration, didn't expect there really is a black dragon below."

Zhou Hanyu said excitedly.

Yang Yan chuckled and slowly replied:

"Here's how it goes! Under Beixinqiao, there's a legend of a Sea Eye. But this is pure nonsense."

"It's true there's a Dragon Vein beneath the Imperial Capital, but no Sea Eye."

"Legend has it there's a temple beside the bridge, with a well inside, locking a Xingyuan Dragon, and Beixinqiao was built to suppress the dragon within the Sea Eye."

"As for the place's name, there's a story behind it too..."

At this point, Yang Yan deliberately paused.

Zhou Hanyun was fine, just looking at him with anticipation.

But Miss Zhou Er was impatient.

She clearly knew the subsequent story but wanted to hear it from Yang Yan's mouth.

So she glared at him fiercely, urging him to continue quickly.
